Main index of the Survival Guide
The Survival Guide is an item which is used mainly to start building different types of constructions. The book shows pictures of all available structures in the game along with the resources needed to build them. The survival guide (along with the lighter) is one of the first items the player starts out with in the game. The survival guide is quickly accessible by pressing the B key on PC or by pressing up on the D-pad on PS4 or by pressing X in VR (Oculus controls)
Contents[]
The survival guide is divided into three basic categories, of which two have multiple subcategories:
- Basics of Survival Tutorial: a short introduction to shelters, fires and foraging.
- Construction: allows the player to quickly access different groups of buildings and place them.
These pages have been listed in the order that they appear in:
Basics of survival - page 1
Basics of survival - page 2
Basics of survival - page 3
- Information: Currently gives the player information on what he has found/ can find on the island:
